I need some help getting my game onto android...

Post by Ovidios »

I did my best trying to follow the guide on the wiki (https://bitbucket.org/MartinFelis/love- ... _-_Windows) but when running ant debug i get the following errors:
C:\Users\Ovidios\Desktop\MartinFelis-love-android-sdl2-35cd9f190025>ant debug

I feel like I followed the tutorial, but if you could tell me what I did wrong that'd be great. It might have something to do with the android SDK (I didn't get an installer but rather just the tools folder, even though running android.bat did generate some more files).

Thanks in advance for your help!

EDIT: I just noticed I posted this in General. I suspect it belongs to the Support and Development forum? I don't know how to move this though, just wanted to say I'm sorry!

why dont you use android studio, it might be much easier for you, i got it working on linux with sdk and ndk install and gradle build after tweaking android versions on build files...anyway the error is pretty descriptive... Unable to locate tools.jar. Expected to find it in D:\Programme\JAVA SDK\lib\tools.jar

Thank you greboide for pointing this out: the first thing you must learn to do when you become a programmer is to thoroughly read error messages.

I ran into the same error message, and was able to fix it by replacing

Code: Select all

 target=android-25 
by

Code: Select all

 target=android-19 
in project.properties.

However, for me ant didn't complain about the missing tools.jar , so that might be a separate problem.
